Hey There Guys,
A player in my upcoming game sent me his Family Sword (an Item of Power) to review and make sure it was OK. I've played about 2 hours of the game, completely out of the books and a pregenerated adventure, so I'm a little out of my depth here. Having had bad experiences with magic items in other games, I figured I would come to the experts. The character is the last son of a family that has a destiny to destroy a specific outsider. I would really appreciate everyone's thoughts on this blade.

Akai Family Spirit Blade [-3]

Hey There, Long time Lurker first time Poster.

My group is wrapping up a 2 and a half year long D&D game this December, and we're planning to transition into the Dresden Files for our next game. We'll be rotating Game Mastering duties by case file so everyone gets a chance to play. We're planning on doing a full day session for Character Generation and City Generation, but everyone is crazy excited and putting together concepts so we can sit down and hit the ground running. So far we have:

-A Magical Ronin hunting a Specific Denarian (Evocation, Magic Sword)
-An Alphas-Style Were-Ram
-A Mystical Chi Healer
-A Focused Practitioner that uses his magic to cheat at Gambling and Boxing
-A Pure Mortal who stumbled upon a set of Mystical Murders and is now Driven to finding the truth
-A Native American Shaman/Armed Forces Veteran who's been thrust into the Supernatural

Now I'm a Morgan fanboy. I have no Shame. I have gotten into loud arguments on how Morgan isn't really that Unreasonable given what he knows about Harry. My concept is a Warden that was rescued from an Outsider Cult (he was going to be sacrificed) but Morgan and a team of Wardens saved him. He's dedicated himself to being a wizard in Morgan's mould, even being his apprentice for a number of years before becoming a Warden in his own right.

My question is: Do you think such a character that is a Hardliner and devout on the Laws, can fit in with a group with wide and divergent views and magical talents? Or do you think it'll put too much burden on us as players and maybe I should save the concept for a game where it might be less disruptive?
